@stevemagness @JohnGoldman I don't know where the sample of 120k people was taken from, but if you are claiming that 8:11 is at the 25th percentile for 40-49 y/o, it's simply not the case that this is a representative sample of the general population.

@stevemagness @JohnGoldman The way I read the labels, an 8:11 mile is at the 25th percentile for the 40-49 age group, meaning 75% of folks in that age group can run a mile faster than 8:11. That simply cannot be true.

For health and longevity, your mile time is more important than your VO2max.

@JohnGoldman @stevemagness As amongst the gen. population, yes it is. As amongst runners or fitness enthusiasts, of course not.

@SinglePoint451 @stevemagness That’s not even close to being true

@nicksortor @NASAAdmin Government needs more real managers in administrative positions.

🚨 @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman had the PERFECT response to Trump’s proposed 2027 budget cutting $5.6 BILLION (23%) from NASA “I think the American public and the taxpayers should be judging NASA based on OUTCOMES and NOT how quickly we can spend money every year.” What a LEGEND. There’s PLENTY of waste to cut across the board, and Jared is the man to figure out what to cut.

@claireforny @BernieSanders @nycDSA "In the struggle" is truly the most pathetic phrase...get over yourselves and go do something valuable (and encourage others to do the same)

It's not a radical idea to ask the wealthiest New Yorkers and most profitable corporations to pay their fair share. An honor to rally with @BernieSanders, @nycDSA and so many friends in the struggle last weekend in The Bronx.

@beyond_capital LOL, this is the craziest shit I've ever seen. "Eastern Europe, Russia, China, Mongolia, North Korea, and Cuba" are your examples of success? Please, please go live there then.

@amuse Fuck these people.

SOCIALISM: Democrats want to eliminate private property. The first step is to pass laws that allow tenants to stop paying rent. Here’s Rep Pressley explaining.

@BeckyQuick I mean, they gave him an autographed jersey and courtside seats. It's OK.

This is just mean. They suck.

@NancyMace yep

Do you want South Carolina’s state income tax to be ZERO?

@NewStatesman The high-brow condescension oozing from this dude's pores is grotesque. He's a moron without any self-awareness. Just a basic bitch liberal ivory tower academic believing he's enlightened and needs to help everyone else see the rectitude of his views.

@NewStatesman Oh, yes, how utterly racist to be concerned about allowing a religious group into your country en masse that *checks notes* "accounts for the overwhelming majority of incidents, deaths, and overall impact within religious-motivated terrorism" and 250,000 deaths in past 45 years.

The anti-Muslim sentiment sweeping across the UK and Europe is "basically racism" says Rory Stewart

@SenSanders Shut the fuck up and stop confiscating people's hard-earned money. As if the federal gov't needs or deserves more tax revenue when it is such a poor steward.

We can no longer tolerate a rigged tax code that enables billionaires to pay a lower effective tax rate than the average worker & corporations like Tesla & Palantir to pay ZERO in federal income taxes while making billions in profits. Yes. The wealthy must pay their fair share.

@FischerKing64 “An institution that has had its time” meaning what? The Supreme Court is essential to our democracy. We cannot have an unchecked executive branch and/or leave constitutional ambiguities unaddressed. What do you propose we do if they decide a case in a manner you don’t like?

The SCOTUS birthright citizenship case will bring much into focus. The very idea is stupid beyond belief, and is being openly exploited with birth tourism - which is used to subvert us. But do 9 old lawyers have a finger in a rule book and a hand in their crotch? And if they do - should we go along with a suicidal ruling? Really - if SCOTUS tells us birthright citizenship is ‘the law of the land,’ which would mean a Chinese woman who plans birth in San Diego can pump out a bonafide American citizen - do we do along with that? The implications are terribly destructive. It would mean someone born in San Diego but raised in Beijing is as American as apple pie - doesn’t need a visa to study at Stanford. Spying would be a lot easier. If SCOTUS doesn’t get this, isn’t moved by the open reality - it’s an institution that has had its time.

@revenant_MMXX largely true pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

Every single half-baked explanation for why fertility declined is downstream of the actual reason, which is young women "getting educated" and joining the work force en masse. People will say literally anything other than "women, at scale, are having careers instead of kids."

@NYCMayor @toddvitolo @NYC_DOT 14 hrs' work in 14 hrs you dumbass. Just b/c we've had low standards/expectations for public productivity historically doesn't mean we should be held to that standard going forward.

@toddvitolo @NYC_DOT repaired 7,601 potholes yesterday — a week’s worth in 14 hours.

Most in-shape detail in America.

@EmmaVigeland How sad and depressing it must be to gripe all day about people who have been successful. The billionaires you lament have taken extraordinary personal risk and often made tremendous sacrifice to build products and services that you use and love. Get over it.

Probably not a great sign that everything is an algorithmically-boosted, bot-filled PR campaign now, at the same time that newsrooms are shuttered and/or captured by billionaires

@sarithaforny I'm here for this campaign.

Here’s an idea: build a second Rikers. If the jails are overcrowded, you build more jails, you don’t let career criminals out on the street. Or you’ll get more innocent New Yorkers killed, like Richard Williams, who you apparently failed to keep in your thoughts.

@SenWarren The economic and real world illiteracy of this proposal is astounding. Also, the government gets plenty of our money and wastes it to fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. Fix that first, Senator.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

@AlinejadMasih What’s your theory regarding the best way to effectuate regime change?

This is deeply alarming. According to statements from an IRGC official, Iran’s regime has now lowered the minimum age for participation in war-related roles to just 12 years old. Let’s be clear: Recruiting children into military activity is a violation of international laws and the international community must not stay silent. Twelve-year-olds, kids,being pulled into patrols, checkpoints, and military logistics. This is the same regime that lectures the world about morality. But when it comes to survival? They’re willing to send children into danger.
